Perhaps it’s because this is an island. Even in the deep mountains, when the breeze blows, there is a faint salty smell in the air.
Looking down from the high mountains, I saw the sea's treacherous waves, rolling like mountains. The chilling, intense black-blue color stretched to the horizon, stretching as far as the eye could see. The peaks surrounding the island were staggered, each with its own unique appearance. I wondered if there were any inhabitants there.
This was the first time she had ever seen the sea, and she was inevitably fascinated by it. After she came to her senses, she continued to go deeper into the mountains to search for the two elixirs.
To her surprise, she finally went a hundred meters deep into the forest and actually saw a scarlet spiritual herb, which was the blood spiritual herb among the three rare spiritual herbs.
It is true that after searching for a needle in a haystack, it was finally found without any effort.
Leng Qingning lowered her head to pick the blood spirit grass, and she felt an inexplicable chill on the back of her neck. Her expression immediately changed, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. A cold wind blew, and she saw a red figure arching its body and flying straight towards the back of her neck.
Leng Qingning quickly stood up and dodged, drawing her sword and slashing forward. A red snake was split in two, twitching on the ground. She chopped it into pieces a few more times before carefully putting the blood spirit grass away.
The other two kinds of spiritual medicine, one grows in dark places, and the other grows on cliffs.
There are many swamps in the dark land. It is almost sunset and it is extremely dangerous in the mountains late at night. It is better not to go out. It seems that I have to find a way to get the map of this island, otherwise it will be a waste of time to search for it.
Leng Qingning collected a large number of spiritual herbs. She would practice making the rejuvenation pill first, and then refine the recovery pill after finding the other two spiritual herbs.
Refining the rejuvenation pill is a little more difficult than the fasting pill. She spent the whole night refining it and failed nearly a dozen times. At dawn, she finally showed a tired smile and looked at the seven rejuvenation pills in her hand.
After this night, her alchemy skills had made great progress. What surprised him the most was that after constantly squeezing out her spiritual energy all night, her strength was actually recovering little by little. He believed that she would be able to recover to the middle stage of foundation building within a month.
Not knowing whether Yan Ci could take the rejuvenation pill, she tried to crush the pill into several small pieces, peeled them apart and fed them into the little black snake's mouth.
However, her worries were unnecessary. The pieces of the pill melted in her mouth, and the little black snake seemed to be licking its tongue with satisfaction. Leng Qingning put the pieces in her palm into the little black snake's mouth little by little.
Just when she was about to crush another piece of the pill, the little black snake suddenly fell asleep with its mouth smacked. Then spiritual power emanated from its body, repairing its injuries bit by bit.
Seeing that the elixir was effective for Yan Ci, Leng Qingning finally felt relieved. As long as it worked, Yan Ci would recover sooner or later.
Then, she also took a rejuvenation pill. The pill melted in her mouth, and a light herbal fragrance flowed between her lips and teeth.
A warm current instantly rushed into her dantian, causing waves of itching in the wounds inside her body. She immediately closed her eyes, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and controlled the spiritual power in her body, allowing the medicine to repair the injuries in her body bit by bit.
After the drug's effects circulated in her body for several cycles, she exhaled lightly, then slowly opened her eyes and left the cave.
Perhaps because of the climate, the residents on the island dressed bolder and cooler than the monks on the eastern continent. Leng Qingning's outfit seemed a bit abrupt.
She quickly slipped into a clothing store, bought two sets of clothes suitable for the island, and went to an alley to change into them.
Just as her figure disappeared into the alley, two men dressed like guards appeared at the entrance of the alley.
One of the guards asked, "Chen Er, have you found out the identity of this person?"
"I haven't found out this guy's identity. He seemed to have suddenly appeared on the island today. I saw him enter a clothing store and then go to this alley. I guess he must be from outside the island."
A group of fishermen carrying fish baskets passed by, and a strong fishy smell filled the air. Chen Yi and Chen Er stared at the fishermen, and the fishermen felt uneasy when they were stared at. One of them quickly smiled in a flattering manner, showing his big white teeth.
"Do you two adults have any advice?"
The stinky smell of fish hit him in the face. Chen Yi took two steps back in disgust and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and leave!"
"Then I'll take my leave now?" The fisherman showed a simple smile and left with a group of companions, carrying the baskets.
"This kid has been in there for so long, why hasn't he come out yet?"
Chen Yi stared at the alley, not letting go of any passerby.
At this time, the two realized that something was wrong. They looked at each other and rushed into the alley. Occasionally, there were two children playing in the alley.
"Boy, have you seen a tall man in gray clothes passing by?"
The children playing shook their heads.
Now the two of them knew that something was wrong. The boy was too cunning and they didn't expect him to escape.
Chen Yida: "Continue to lead people to keep a close eye on every place on the island. If there are any unfamiliar faces on the island, they must report to me."
"yes"
"Thank you, little brother, for helping us so much. If it weren't for you, these fish would have died and we wouldn't be able to sell them at a good price. This is a gift from me to you. You must accept it and don't refuse it!" The fisherman looked at Leng Qingning with a bright smile and handed her a large basket of fish.
The fisherman was too enthusiastic, and Leng Qingning could not refuse his kindness, so she had to accept the big basket of fish and said goodbye to the fisherman and others.
There happened to be a library nearby, so Leng Qingning walked in and asked, "Boss, do you sell any books like Fengwen magazines here? I want to go to other islands and have a look."
The shopkeeper was a dark-skinned man with bushy eyebrows that looked like two caterpillars. After hearing Leng Qingning's words, he said, "It's unfortunate, little brother, the book you want has been sold. I only have a blueprint of the island here. Do you want it?"
Leng Qingning was overjoyed when she heard this. What she wanted was the blueprint of the island. However, when she opened the worn-out blueprint, she felt disappointed. The blueprint only showed the distribution of this small island. As for the island and the surrounding sea area, they were not on the blueprint at all.
"Does the shopkeeper have any more detailed drawings?"
The shopkeeper said, "My little brother, this blueprint of mine is unique on our island. If you want a more detailed blueprint, I'm afraid it's only available in the island owner's mansion. The island owner has the complete blueprint."
Leng Qingning's heart sank when she heard this. She didn't expect that getting a blueprint would be so troublesome. It seemed that he had to find a way to get the complete blueprint of the island from the island owner's mansion.
